The Ideal Electronic cat door
is made only for cats. The unlock mechanism is triggered by the collars tags close proximity to the base area of the pet opening. Cats when using this collar tend to bend over lower and successfully trigger the unlocking mechanism whereas dogs do do not bend over as much. For this reason the door activates reliably when cats use it and so not reliably when dogs attempt to use the product.
This pet door has a generous 7"w x 9"h opening that can accommodate any size cat. The electronic lock on this door controls action going into the house where there is no access control when leaving the house. The collar worn by the cat does not require any batteries; and the door itself uses a 9-volt battery to enhance the unlocking activation. The door also has a 3-way manual locking feature that can be used in manual mode (Without collar tags). This is often used when acclimating a cat to a collar or a door for the first time. The flap is made of unbreakable Lexan and carries a limited lifetime warranty
